Oh Captain! My Captain! - An Ode to Robin Williams

Hats, oh so many, he donned.Shapes, sizes, and shades: a myriad. The world lauded, applauded and adored. And tossed their hats, in the air. Yet he kept all of his on; Delighted the world and lightened their weary heads. Until those hats piled one atop another.Perhaps, he felt weighed downyet he never shrugged.For all they could hear were his jokes and not those unspoken words.Now, silence echoes and absence prevails.As he's left the room without opening the door.And that pile of hats has landed six feet above the floor.

Amit Charles B. aka Scribbler is an authentic Bangalorean (since 1982), who found and got hitched to his Muse recently. He now owns a scribble pad, a camera, a casual wardrobe and a detuned guitar with corroding strings.
And those of you who are interested in my work rather than my Apollo 13-attempt-at-a-funny- bio, flip the pages of my Scribble Pad.
